Dealership to blame? No way. Why on earth would it not be locked away in your garage at all times?

Is that a right hand drive? Dealers are scum. Across the board.

Dodge needs to step up and do a software upgrade so it’s not so easy to steal these. Are Camaros and Mustangs just as easy to steal.

I would rather not be classified with Hyundai/KIA as easiest to steal.

The last Mustang I owned was a 2015. It had theft issues, but I've read that they've since upgraded them. I haven't so much as turned a wrench on anything post 2016 as I got out of the Mustang game around then. However, the Camaro (latest iterations anyway) has similar anti-theft systems as the C8. They're not quite as thorough, but it's definitely not an easy mark. With GM, they do have the OnStar stuff, which takes a police contact to authorize the real time location tracking and disable service. This is something UConnect doesn't support. The Dodge UConnect only updates once every 30 minutes or so? Helpful if they don't disable the GPS and they park it, but it won't help track it if it's moving. You also can't brick the car with UConnect. The GM system can remote disable the vehicle. To get it to work again, it has to be towed to a dealership and manually reactivated.

If any of the above is incorrect about the GM system, don't shoot me. I'm quoting a post on the C8 forum about someone who was carjacked at a gas station. Within 10 minutes the police connected with OnStar and they were able to disable the vehicle and it stopped in the middle of the road. They were able to recover the car damage free (and caught the shithead).

Pretty sure Uconnect is H1B made junk. That's what a $9/hr "software engineer" gets you. Maybe someday companies will learn that cutting corners ends up costing more in the end. But what do I know? I didn't get a degree from a vending machine.

Isn't a car dealership trying to protect its customers' cars from theft like a hooker protesting against marital infidelity?
